3M™ Panagraphics™ III Wide Flexible Substrate

London, On (May 2, 2006) – 3M Canada is making it big with its new Panagraphics III image-ready wide-width backlit flexible substrate.

The substrate is intended for film decoration or direct Piezo ink jet printing applications making durable, flexible signs when used with compatible 3M products. Panagraphics III has a low-visibility scrim for a less distracting view of the sign image when backlit, a smooth front surface and a semi-gloss finish. It is available up to 13’9” or 4.2 meters wide.

The anti-wick polyester scrim embedded in a bright white-pigmented vinyl creates a durable substrate for attractive signs especially when used with 3M’s Scotchcal™ Translucent Films.

“We’re now able to offer our customers the option to apply translucent films or print directly on the wide-width flexible substrate. At 3M we’re responding to customer’s needs by providing a strong warranty used with 3M’s compatible products and at a competitive price,” said Erika Dickie, marketing supervisor, 3M Signage.

Recently launched in Canada, Panagraphics III as a cost-effective choice for producing backlit signs supported by the strong 3M Matched Component System Warranty.
